Playoffs & Championships

By Wham!tramck, Detroit Derby Girls

The top 5 reasons, other than the 2015 International WFTDA Division 2 Playoffs, to visit Detroit this August:

Detroit-style Pizza
1. Detroit cuisine is serious business. From Detroit-style pizza to the Coney dog, if you have a derby-sized appetite get ready for this tournament.
2. Grassroots arts and entertainment are everywhere! The Heidelberg Project is an open-air community art project that's almost 30 years old. Stand up comedy, theater, and music venues fill the city so there's never a dull night.

3. Michigan has over 100 breweries, so chances are you've sipped some of our brews before. Imagine how much better they would be fresh!
4. So you're a history buff? Detroit has you covered! Detroit Historical Museum and Hitsville USA (the birthplace of Motown) have formal exhibits. Strap on your skates and explore Belle Isle Park to check out the Albert Kahn-designed aquarium and conservatory built in 1904!

5. Like the Detroit Derby Girls, the city has gone through some rough times but is in the process of a renaissance that has to be experienced. We know you're curious, this is your chance!
